2 reviews of haggle vinyls in English
This shop is selling vinyls of any type of music, movie’s soundtrack, jazz, rock, disco, motown everything about music.
You can’t miss it as the outside is purple and there are boxes on the ground with a lot of vynils at £1 only ! I found a Bruce Springsteen very rare in there !
There are more records than space in the shop and if you don’t want to search your vinyl go directly to the till, they’ll be happy to help and they’ll tell you directly if they have what you are looking for.
Prices in there are also very attractive and in good condition too. The staff as I said is nice and they’ve got also a lot of stories to tell you about if you have time of course.
I like to go and surprise myself by bringing one famous or unknown artist at home.
One of a dying breed of second hand record shops left in London. This one will probably go the same way, if the owner is to be believed, and i’m not really surprised.
They do stock a lot of different styles of music but their music knowledge seems to have stopped in about 1995. There is never any records from past this period in the sorted racked. Because of this you can find some bargains in the hundreds of £2 piles underneath the racks - that’s if you can be bothered to sort through them all and don’t mind sitting on the floor for a couple of hours.
If you combined this shop with Flashback’s knowledge (a few doors down) you would have a great record shop.
If you’re looking for rare records from before 1995 though they are excellent - you can normally pick them up for a decent price. And as the name says you can always haggle the price down as well.
